QUOTABLES
Head coach Brooke Stoehr
We came out with a good mindset and we attacked on both ends of the floor. Our defense gave us the momentum and our attacking mindset gave us some easy baskets in transition. Outside of those five minutes in the third quarter I loved our energy, communication and attention to all the little things. This is what we know what this group is capable of and it is what we expect every day, it is our standard. We have to be resilient and tenacious on the defensive end of the floor if we want to compete for a championship, and I think we did a great job defensively. We have great depth and it allows us to have options for the gameplan and how we want to have the other team guard us. It is a busy time of the year and our students are out on quarter break. I cannot thank our spirit squads and the band members that showed up for our team today. Our crowd got into it and gave us a boost. We are grateful for this community and know they will continue to show up for this group.
